New Note

I am not quite sure how wikipedia works, but from my breif reading on the policies, wouldn't the following awards and accolades be significant to warrant representation? For example, there are a number of independent sources that have recognised this as being significant (e.g. the Australian Government, business magazines, prominent competitions). I would think that receiving a governement grant and being recognised as one of the "top 10 coolest comapanies" in all of Australia (by a respected source) would be something that would be remembered in the future. Also that fact that there is over 150,000 members from over 140 countries is significant.

Awards and Accolades   On the 20th of March 2006, SwapAce.com was awarded a grant by the Australian Federal Government (a COMET grant through AusIndustry).   In August of 2006, SwapAce.com was awarded the prestigious title of being one of the "Top 10 Cool Companies" by Australian Anthill magazine.  In November 2005, SwapAce.com was placed as a finalist in the Secrets of Australian IT Innovation Competition.   In July of 2006, SwapAce.com was recognised as part of an elite group of successful e-entrepreneurs by MyBusiness magazine.
